BACKGROUND

Distributed processing systems in which applications are performed assmaller operating procedures across a number of processing systems overa geographic area have been growing in functions, complexity, and usesas individual processing systems increase capabilities when, at the sametime, communications networks allow large amounts of data to betransmitted between these processing systems. This trend has given riseto a number of processing approaches including edge computing, meshcomputing, Internet of Things (IoT), and autonomous vehicles operatingin a distributed controlled environment.

An evolution is occurring for autonomous and manual transportation forcargo and people via the next-generation delivery infrastructure. Theautonomous delivery infrastructure, soon to come, needs a commerciallyviable and sustainable solution to be successful. Simply relying onrevenue from the delivery of people or cargo is not enough. Deliveryservice providers need to be able to have the public's buy-in to supportthe solution of autonomous drone and virtual take-off and landing (VTOL)delivery and therefore need to rely on the data that could make ithappen. However, data to support beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)delivery was not trusted, was not cyber protected, did not have agenesis creator of data with its chain of custody as to its originalsource, and was easily spoofed. If someone wanted to sell their dataafter personal use, it was not discoverable by others, and even if itwas, it was not reliable, trusted data that can be repurposed and/orused in near real-time for other operations after it has been validatedas good data. More importantly, the infrastructure to make a bunch ofsmart drone airports from the ground up to support a true last-milelogistics is too cost-prohibitive and would take years to develop.

Currently being developed is a wide spectrum of how the autonomousinfrastructure operates and matures into a commercially viable andsustainable model while integrating into existing manual transportationfleet operations and building infrastructures. This infrastructure isevolving into a system that, in addition to the operation of the UAVdevices, includes a decentralized data exchange market maker ofblockchain validated data as a service (BVDaaS), blockchain validateddata storage as a service (BVDSaaS), and data market maker as a service(DMMaaS) for the autonomous infrastructure and beyond.

This infrastructure needs to be able to help metadata asset and propertyowners as the first-ever blockchain decentralized ledger, decentralizeddiscoverable repository data exchange, and market maker of immutabledata for data suppliers and users of autonomous cargo and peopletransportation and digital twin infrastructure.

Therefore, a need exists for a system for providing a smart,blockchain-based data exchange data storage device within a self-healingnode-centric blockchain mesh network. The present invention attempts toaddress the limitations and deficiencies in prior solutions according tothe principles and example embodiments disclosed herein.

The term “application programming interface” that is also referred to as“API” refers to a computer programming construct permitting a computingprocess running on a particular computing device to access software andrelated operations provided by a third-party running on a separatecomputing device using a standardized interface and data exchangeformat. The use of APIs to access third-party software permits thedevelopment of collaborative computing products in which softwarecomponents from different sources operate together to implement aprocessing solution.

The term “SDK” or “Software Development Kit” refers to a set of toolsand instructions developers use to build applications.

The term “firmware” refers to embedded software within a hardware devicethat provides functionality associated with the operation of thehardware device. Firmware may be distinguished from application programsand similar software as the applications typically are executed ongeneral-purpose computing devices and user-operated devices.

The term “unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)” refers to an embodiment of aUAV. These UAVs may include, but are not limited to vertical take-offand landing vehicles (VTOL), electronic vertical take-off and landingvehicles (eVTOL), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), unmanned aerial systems(UAS), vertical short take-off and landing vehicles (VSTOL), shorttake-off and landing vehicles (STOL), electric small take-off andlanding vehicles (eSTOL), conventional take-off and landing vehicles(CTOL), electric conventional take-off and landing vehicles (eCTOL),autonomous vehicles (AVs), connected and autonomous vehicles, cargo airvehicles (CAV), electric cargo air vehicles (eCAVs), passenger airvehicles (PAVs), hydrogen unmanned vehicles (HUV), hydrogen and electricunmanned vehicle hybrids (HEUVH), and electric passenger air vehicles(ePAVs).

(UTM) fleet operations, drone/UAV devices,unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), unmanned marine vehicles (UMV) devices,unmanned ground delivery robots (UDR) devices, and or vertical andtake-off vehicles (VTOLs)/UAV devices.

The term “UTM fleet operations” refers to UTM fleet operations forstakeholders who manage their own fleets of autonomous vehicles, andwill be able to protect their data by being onboarded and integratedinto the UAV network. Existing UTMs provide data that cannot be reusedwith trust by another interested third party. There is no way to letthird parties know what data is currently available that can berepurposed for use from one or more of the data exchange(s) disclosedherein. The present invention provides an interoperable open softwareplatform in which UTMs can capture the value of this data both for theircompany and their clients on a smart self-healing node-centric meshnetwork using Proof of Reputation (PRO) to validate the data as trusteddata on the network from the genesis creation at the edge, on a Layerzero (L_0) hypergraph transfer protocol (HGTP) Layer Zero (L_0) network,Layer zero (L_0) state channels, smart contracts, directed acyclic graph(DAG), with the option to work between Web2, Web3, Mainnet 1.0 andMainnet 2.0. The HGTP network is agnostic in the sense that it can allowfor cross-chain (blockchain) with layer zero (L_0), layer one (L1), andor Layer (L2) networks to interact with the network. It is dataagnostic, scalable, modular, and hardware interoperable. This allows forcross-chain liquidity and crypto and or token use. This validatedtrusted data will be able to then be able to go to our Data Exchangewhere it can be offered with terms and conditions from datacreator/suppliers to data acquisition users who will each use aback-office dashboard where they will be able to negotiate the digitaldata bundle of rights (DDBR) terms and conditions between the data theyqueried. Once agreed to, layer zero (L_0) non-fungible right (NFR) iscreated that locks in the key and agreement to the terms and conditionsof the trusted data that will be able to allow for the access to thedata. A market maker fee will then be charged for the transaction of theaggregated and railed validated and trusted data that was discoverableon the repository and or depository network via query and negotiated andsecured by an NFR.

The term “drone/UAV providers” refers to robot and manual vehiclemanufacturers with sensors such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR),radar, telemetry sensors, and weather sensor payloads that providesituational awareness, detect and avoid, collision avoidance, terrainavoidance, object avoidance, deconfliction, digital twin predictiveanalytics for data such as lifecycles, failures, traffic control, andmaintenance, either because there is a governing body mandate and/or foran added feature for an additional data solution. Very few existingautonomous delivery transportation stakeholders can sustain the cost ofR&D, manufacturing, maintenance, and high delivery costs, withoutcontinual large cash infusions, which makes the existing models notcommercially viable and sustainable without a method by which to offsetthose costs.

The term “data exchange” refers to a validated and aggregateddecentralized data storage device that stores data received forlong-term usage onto an HGTP, DAG, Web3, L_0, L1, and or L2, blockchainledger using blockchain processing, state channel(s), PRO Consensus andcross-chain data, smart contracts, NFTs, NFRs, fiat, networks, and orliquidity. The data ledger is maintained on a plurality of universalcomputing nodes as is common in all blockchain processors. Thesecomputing nodes are disclosed herein as being interconnected over adistributed computing network using standard data communicationsprotocols that self-police each other using a Proof of Reputation (PRO)cluster and consensus between nodes for confirmation that the data istrusted data and therefore validated data. If not trusted, this data iscontained for future forensic examination and does not go pollinate theblockchain network after containment. One skilled in the art willrecognize that the blockchain ledgers being maintained by multipleuniversal computing nodes also may be implemented with other comparablecommunications and secure storage technologies including L_0 (levelzero) distributed network, HGTP (hypergraph transfer protocol) network,and any other network configuration and protocol. Data is aggregatedfrom the edge device/hardware by point-to-point (P2P), point-to-cloud(P2C), and or point-to-premises and can be railed out for specificreal-time on-demand use while having the capability to be aggregated andstored into the depository and or repository where it can becomediscoverable, validated and trusted data under our market maker platformwhich allows for fiat, crypto, token and or non-fungible tokens and ornon-fungible rights to be used as a feel for the transaction between adata creator/distributor and a data acquisition/user using agnosticdata, blockchain networks, digital wallets, crypto, tokens, and fiatsolutions.

The term “L_0 distributed network” refers to existing layer zero,decentralized HGTP network, DAG, Web3, state channels, data validationby node consensus, cryptocurrency token standards, and protocols withzero to very low gas fees, vary low latency, scalability anddecentralized layer 1 protocols such as Ethereum (ETH) and DisCas Vision(DISC) which have high slow latency and vastly fluctuating and high gasfees (transaction fees) to use their networks. The historic data cannotbe created at its original source because the data validators in ETH arenot providing the full historic blockchain data creation events, whenusing Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) metrics, whichcontributes to the high gas fees and latency associated with the variousnetworks. Using this older method of layer 1 protocols vs the new methodof layer zero protocols on HGTP, the business models' cost and profitpredictability, scalability, and sustainability become uncertain forDISC and ETH to produce commercially sustainable and viable blockchainvalidated and trusted data such as that provided by using our smartself-healing node centric mesh network, Autonomous Data Infrastructure,Proof of Reputation (PRO) and the AMX/Sub-Exchange Data Exchange on adecentralized market maker platform. Layer zero (L_0) provides fornear-zero gas fees associated with the Web3, state channel, horizontalhypergraph transfer protocol (HGTP), and directed acyclic graph (DAG)network with proof of reputation (PRO) consensus of validated data, tosolve this problem.

The term “data redefined” refers to creating a commercially viable andsustainable autonomous infrastructure. The present invention introducesa disruptive method by which to evolve the existing manual aviation andvehicle aviation structure and economics into a redefined data structurethat will take existing cost-affordable sensors and integrate them intoan autonomous system that can be sustained through the use,subsidization, and monetization of trusted data via Proof of Reputation(PRO), with solutions such as aggregation, railing, and digital twinpredictive analytics, crypto and or token social and or loyalty rewards.The present invention has created a solution for repurposing roofs,land, mailboxes, doorbells, landing pads, charging stations, hangers,containers, automated drone battery swapping, charging, drones, dataminers, data, networks, and trusted data exchanges for the autonomousinfrastructure. This architecture must include at a minimum, but not belimited to, a system that is data, network, fiat, non-fungible, digitalwallet, token and or crypto agnostic, data repurposed, Data Depositoryand Repository, Rooftop and Ground Space Repurposed, Smart Rooftop andGround DronePort, Vertiport, Airport, Smart Mailbox Landing Pads, andSmart Parcel Mailboxes Landing Pad Miners Repurposed as Smart MailboxLanding PadsTM, Smart Delivery Doorbell, and Chime Miners, Smart DroneLanding Pad Miners, Smart Own the Air Around You with Metadata, DigitalData Bundle of Rights, Non-Fungible Rights (NFRs), Smart AutomatedCharging Stations and Drone Battery Swapping Miners, Smart Drone, andDelivery Container Miners, Discoverable Data with Integrity, Live DataRepurposed, Historic Data Repurposed, Existing InfrastructureRepurposed, digital twins, metaverse, omniverse and non-fungible tokens(NFTs).

The term “data agnostic” refers to allowing for all types ofindustry-accepted data formats to be universally accepted in the nodenetwork. The smart self-healing node-centric blockchain meshdecentralized network offers a delivery drone app and data exchange thatis hardware/software, network, and data-agnostic on an interoperable,scalable, and open platform. This delivery drone app provides social andor loyalty crypto rewards for opt-in and agnostic meta-data shared formonetization and subsidization.

The term “data repurposed (repurposed data)” refers to taking existingblockchain resilient and proof of reputation (PRO) node consensusvalidated trusted data that has been used for its purpose and/or storedfor memorialization and repurposing it to be sold on a discoverabledecentralized HGTP, DAG, Web3, data exchange for subsidization and/ormonetization of hard and soft costs.

The term “Data Depository and Repository” refers to assigning data to beused for something other than its original purpose by uploading the datainto a data storage depository or repository for future subsidizationand or monetization. Repurposed data means recurring and residual incomeopportunities.

The term “Rooftop and Ground Space Repurposed” refers to residential,commercial, and industrial rooftops and parking spaces that can berepurposed as a part of the autonomous infrastructure. By repurposingexisting and previously worthless rooftop and ground space, the smartdecentralized self-healing node-centric blockchain hypergraph networkcreates a multi-modal autonomous infrastructure consisting of nodes(machines, sensors, drones, landing pads, charging stations, VTOLs,UGVs, robots, etc.) necessary to create True Last Mile Logistics andfill the data gaps that government and existing airport waypoints cannotfulfill. Using existing rooftops and ground infrastructure, the systemcan create raw and or daisy-chained fusion weather data points, deliverywaypoints and smart drone, VTOL and UGV True Last Mile Logistics droneports/vertiports/smart airports by using existing unused and onceworthless real estate.

The term “Mailboxes and Parcel Mailboxes Repurposed” as Smart MailboxLanding Pads™” refers to_repurposing existing federal-regulatedmailboxes to integrate a Smart Mailbox Landing Pad™ into an existingshipping logistics infrastructure that can provide point-to-pointblockchain validated AIML edge computing, point to point (P2P), point topremises, and point-to-cloud communications. Smart Mailbox Landing Pads™creates delivery waypoints for customers. These Smart Mailbox LandingPads can be data miners such as Smart Mailbox Landing Pad Miners and orrepurposed Smart Drone Landing Pad Miners. The decentralized HGTP, DAG,Web3, and smart self-healing node-centric mesh network can close theloop of a full turn-key utility autonomous drone, vehicle, and robotdelivery process. This will also allow for existing manual operators tobenefit from avoiding the grounding of their planned flight operationsby taking existing node data from the departure waypoint, en routewaypoint, and arrival waypoint of the landing pad, and figure out how toavoid any adverse weather being reported on existing sensors to maintainoperations without grounding the vehicles. This is real lost opportunitysavings. Situational awareness and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS)Operations can utilize the sensors for weather data, as well as objectand terrain detection and avoidance, artificial intelligence, machinelearning, and or near real-time, real-time, and even faster thanreal-time autonomous decision making.

The term “Own the Air Around You with Metadata” refers to userscontrolling the metadata produced and offering it with rewards byparticipating in gamification programs. Governing bodies andparticipating data creators, distributes and acquisition users canaudit, use, monetize and have rules that can integrate with thissolution. Class A, B, C, D, E, and G airspace for example can be over auser's private property airspace where their mobile app, mining device,metadata participation, and or edge cloud device that they may own suchas their smartphone, smart delivery doorbell miner, smart deliverylanding pad miner, that is a node on the network with full agnosticfrequency spectrum hopping, inverted aggregation edge cloud networkdevices, with time, processing, and cyberspace inflation withfractalization, can be recognized as an authorization for crypto rewardsto have clearance to fly over private property airspace.

The term “Digital Data Bundle of Rights” refers to_a_digital data bundleof rights that provide for rights and or privileges that can be dividedby use, terms, conditions, and or ownership, among other privileges andrights. A bundle of digital access rights comprises a specific dynamicnegotiated rights, terms, conditions, and or ownership title to contentsof a blockchain data record, a right to resell the contents of ablockchain data record, a right to copy the contents of a blockchaindata record, a right to access the contents of a blockchain data recordbeing limited in time, a right to access the contents of a blockchaindata record being limited in use, and a right to access to contents of ablockchain data record being limited in data format. The bundle ofdigital access rights may also restrict the access and use of thecontents of a blockchain data record using any other characteristicassociated with the contents of the blockchain data record. Theseagreed-to terms and conditions are finalized into a decentralized HGTP,DAG, Web3 Layer Zero NFR (Non-Fungible Right) smart contract, and orstate channel agreement with private access after the payment methodchosen is secured via merchant and digital wallet use. The platformallows for data aggregation and rails/railing of data from thedepository and or repository as well as the inverse data aggregation andrails/railing from point to point, point to the cloud, point to premisesas a Reseller, OEM, and or white label service, and or direct serviceapplication.

The present invention provides for a back-office dashboard for both thedata creator/supplier and data acquisition/user, where a data suppliercan provide data that are assigned specific terms and or conditions thatwill allow for a data acquisition user to agree to transact. Forexample, a data supplier may upload an NFT and state that a 72 DPI imagecan be purchased outright for a certain price, but a 300 DPI is onlyavailable by lease for a limited time. That same file can provide theoption to buy the data as HD quality, but only if it is used for adigital twin project that will provide for royalty licensing rights. Thefile also can provide for fractional ownership of the NFT if it is 1200DPI. The data supplier could even reserve anything that is 600 DPI for acharitable donation and still use the same 600 DPI as only available asa touch point licensing on IoT- only hardware. Determining the DigitalData Bundle of Rights for terms and conditions of the digital data useand or ownership will be limited to the imagination and capability ofthe data. The dashboard will be scalable as the terms evolve. The typeof data and or use of data is agnostic and interoperable. Any data ismonetizable or can be provided for free: dynamic and or static data,data types, files, formats, video, audio, communication frequencies,spectrums, etc. In another example, the two dashboards of the datacreator/supplier and the data acquisition/user can have real-time anddynamic negotiations. The data acquisition/user can solicit and orcreate real-time bounty and or hot list requirements, while the datacreator/acquisition/user can provide the terms and conditions of therequest. that will be able to have a result of taking the agreed-toterms and conditions between participating parties and finalizing itinto a merged NFR (Non-Fungible Right) smart contract and or statechannel agreement with private and or public access keys, after themethod and terms of payment has been realized.

The term “Discoverable Data with Integrity” refers to blockchainvalidated data that may be trusted as reliable, immutable, resilientdata because the data's original created genesis location and owner canbe traced to its original data supplier and throughout the sales and useprocess through the decentralized HGTP state channel blockchain networkand data exchange. This Discoverable Data with Integrity allows for thepurposing and repurposing of trusted data as a service and canincorporate a trusted data rating service certification, as well as bemarketable and monetizable as data-backed security (DBS) should paymentwith terms are negotiated and or digital data assets are used ascollateral.

The term “Live Data Repurposed” refers to the use of live data that hasno purpose to be saved and can be bifurcated in real-time while data islive and operational for its existing purpose by blockchain stream intothe HGTP data exchange to be repurposed on the data exchange forsubsidization and monetization.

The term “Historic Data Repurposed” refers to using historic data thathas no purpose other than to be stored for future review and to be savedif and until then, to be repurposed on the data exchange and or one ormore of its sub-exchanges for subsidization and monetization.

The term “Existing Infrastructure Repurposed” refers to using existingresidential, commercial, and or industrial building structures and theirunused surroundings, postal delivery, and transportation infrastructuresto be used for the newly created autonomous infrastructure with orwithout a digital twin thereof, to be ecofriendly.

The term “Digital Twins” refers to the digital twin model of user'ssensors, data, building, and or surrounding land and utilities that willoffer it to subsidize and or monetize that value of it via theAutonomous Mobility Data (AMX) Exchange and or its sub-exchanges asmarkets start to understand the value of this digital data, with optionsof predictive analytics, lifecycles and failure mitigations (i.e.self-healing sensors with spare sensors that receive data after a sensorhas hit the governor's allowed threshold of failure tolerance, it willtransfer the data to a spare sensor before full failure whereby thespare sensor will be smart in the sense that it will receive the dataand know it must and does take over the duties and burden of the failingsensor.)

The term “metaverse” and “omniverse” refers to an artificial digitalenvironment that will provide for entire cities, small size-towns,countries, and worlds using VR, MR, and or AR, NFTs, NFRs, and validateddata on a decentralized system. This can be sold on the AMX dataexchange(s).

The term “non-fungible tokens” (NFTs) and non-fungible rights (NFRs)refers to digital instruments that will allow for data suppliers anddata creators to take their data that would normally be tossed awayafter an inspection, surveillance, or delivery, for example, and eitherdirect stream the data into the exchange database depository orrepository and “purpose” the raw validated data and or “repurpose” theraw and or modeled verified data, to be used within the dataexchange(s). As data producers and suppliers start to develop photoimages, videos, and or models, such as digital twin cities, that theywish to sell, lease, and or license, but have decided to declare them asan original, unique, and one-of-a-kind digital data work product, thatthey will not reproduce, they will be able to do so via the NFT and orNFR portion of the exchange.

The term “NFT Bundle of Rights (NFTBOR)” refers to taking a piece ofdata that can be created into an NFT and or NFR bundle for various usesunder custom terms and conditions between the data creator/distributorand the data acquisition/user. For example, users may want to keep theuse of the land but sell the mineral rights. Users may want to lease theland itself. Users may also want to sell airspace. These are part ofyour bundle of rights. It should be no different than you have raw data,an NFT and or NFR digital asset that you want to decide how you breakdown the use of those rights within its bundle. If a user has declaredan original digital data as something the user will not reproduce andwant it to be sold as an NFT, that data is the user's property to dowith it as he or she would any piece of real estate. However, old NFTssimply allow for the data to be sold off in pieces under smart contractswith fractional or full token share sales and purchases. Now, with beingable to declare how a data creator, validator, miner, manager,distributor, and or user wishes to bifurcate those rights and maximizetheir benefits of them, a data creator could take a digital photo forexample, and offer it for sale, lease and or license and or any customterms and condition subsidization and or monetization that they feel isappropriate for the user. Data creators/distributors can take that evenfurther by saying that the NFT and or NFR can be free to the public forone purpose and or use but must be purchased for another use and leasedfor even another. Users can even make them options and or licensingrights with a balloon expiration date. This maximizes the NFTmonetization opportunity to its fullest. There is no limit to the typesof digital data one can use as an NFT and declare as a NFTBOR asset.

The term “NFR” refers to a non-fungible right based on the digital databundle of rights (DDBR) on a layer zero (L_0) state channel HGTP, DAG,Web3 platform. Once the dynamic terms and conditions from the datacreator/distributor and data acquisition/user are agreed to on each oftheir specific back-office dashboards, the terms and conditions willmerge into an L_0, non-fungible right (NFR)/Digital Data Bundle ofRights (DDBR). This NFR will be able to provide private key access tothe data procured and or negotiated.

The term “open platform and interoperable sensor participation” refersto data fusion between data sets of diverse sensor data that will bepossible as data sensor nodes on the data exchange are onboarded. Userscan add to their existing raw data and or model data by purchasing,leasing, and licensing the data as a layered solution for their newvalue-added data offered on the exchange. Sensors can be both on astandard centralized cloud aggregation model and or a decentralizedinverted data aggregation network architecture model.

The term “near real-time data” refers to allowing universal computingnodes to be able to have a consensus with each other using adecentralized and distributed validation solution. The system allows forreal-time as well as faster than real-time capabilities due to itsscalability.

The term “historic data repository” refers to a storage location inwhich historic data can be submitted as a repository on the dataexchange to provide for a data storage solution.

The term “discoverable data” refers to data integration and aggregationallowing for data depositories and repositories to be managed, to bediscoverable, and to be accessible through an industry-specific dataexchange query.

The term “Discoverable Trusted Verified Data with Integrity” refers todata exchange(s) combined with a decentralized L_0, hypergraph (HGTP),DAG, Web3, PRO, and digital wallet, that will be an agnostic range indata formats, and uses, but is not limited to, live data, raw data,modeled data, historic data, static and dynamic data, digital twin data,metaverse data, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), non-fungible token bundle ofrights (NFTBOR), non-fungible rights (NFRs), telemetry data, remotedata, stand-by data, and the like. The smart self-healing node-centricmesh network takes into consideration the following when creating anexchange for your data. This data has integrity data, immutable data,data chain of custody and memorization of events, data subsidization andmonetization, smart shipping container and nodes, and L_0 distributednetwork.

The term “integrity data” refers to data that has been blockchainvalidated by consensus using the proof of reputation (PRO) nodevalidation model to its original source as encrypted trusted data.

The term “immutable data” refers to a smart contract and state channelblockchain encrypted data that has been validated by node consensus on adecentralized HGTP, DAG, Web3, network, protocol, and platform.

The term “data chain of custody and memorization of events” refers toeach block of data mined, blockchain validated, encrypted, and monetizedwith a state channel and or smart contract and data validation by proofof reputation (PRO), but can work with PoW and PoS, L1, and L2 networks.Allowing for all data to be agnostic and tracked through a chain ofcustody via blockchain node consensus validation, to provide for thedata's original genesis source, where it is, and where it has gonepermits the creating data creator/supplier to always know where theirdata is and be compensated for its use.

The term “data subsidization and monetization” refers to trusted,blockchain-validated data that can be created for the purpose and or therepurpose to be sold on the AMX exchanges to subsidize and or monetizethe data via market maker blockchain data validation, data aggregation,and data railing by creating a platform for data query andindustry-specific exchange uses.

The term “smart shipping container and nodes” refers to autonomous air,ground, and marine vehicles that will eventually be required to monitorand log all internal and external activity related to a transportedcontainer for safety and security. Containers come in all shapes andsizes. The smart self-healing node-centric mesh network looks at thesetransportation multimodal opportunities to evolve the containers intoSmart Shipping Containers, Smart Cargo Containers, Smart DroneContainers, Smart Truck Containers, Smart Train Containers, Smart VTOLContainers, Smart Marine Containers, Smart Boat Containers, Smart CarContainers, Smart Travel Containers, etc., that allow for security,security risk assessment, situational awareness, content monitoring,observation and memorialization using sensor data both inside andoutside of the container. The container business will need to evolvewith edge, point-to-point, point-to-premises, and point-to-cloud dataavailability on a decentralized L_0, HGTP, DAG, Web3, PRO state channelplatform.

In general, the present disclosure relates to a system for providing asmart, blockchain-based data exchange data storage device within a layerzero (L_0) self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network, using DAG,Web3, State Channels, Constellation's Proof of Reputational (PRO)Observation, Node Consensus, that allows for decentralized cross-chain(blockchain) and cross-chain liquidity, with an agnostic, modular,scalable, P2P, P2C, cloud and or cloud at the edge via decentralizedinverted aggregated architecture networking system, with near real-time,real-time and or faster than real-time using quantum processing, thatuses with it full-spectrum frequency hopping, crypto, token, NFT, andNFR integration, according to the present invention. To betterunderstand the present invention, FIG. 1 illustrates an exampleembodiment of a distributed computing environment containing a systemfor providing a distributed secure data exchange computing environmentused to support autonomous devices having blockchain processingaccording to the present invention.

The smart self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network dataexchange system 100 communicatively couples a plurality of universalcomputing nodes 101 a-d and 115 a-b to a set of servers including a dataexchange server 102, an air traffic control server 103 a, a UAV deliveryserver 103 b, a redundancy server 103 d and other relevant servers. Theuniversal nodes 101 a-d and 115 a-b are described in detail in thepreviously referenced concurrently filed US patent application. The airtraffic control server 103, an app server-full stack front-end mobileapplication for users, operators, and vendors, (not shown), and the dataexchange server 102 also are described in detail in the above US patentapplication. The delivery server 103 b performs package pickup anddelivery dispatch services including logging the UAV flights, UGV andground robot autonomous and or physical driving of a multi-modalvehicle, inspections, ISRs, and or deliveries, as well as working withthe air traffic control server 103 a for flight trip route planning,in-air flight monitoring, and related air traffic control operations.All of these examples are associated with an example embodiment of adata exchange according to the present invention.

The universal computing nodes 105 a-b are shown having a plurality ofattached sensors 116 a-b that generate data to be validated and includedwithin the data exchange. The validated data is stored within theblockchain ledgers 115 a-n that can be searched by users as describedherein in reference to FIG. 7 below.

One example of the benefits of one decentralized data exchange can bedemonstrated in aviation as it relates to weather and flight planningfor situational awareness, detect and avoid object and terrain, anddecision-making for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) droneoperations. Existing weather sensor data is relied upon by public andprivate sector airports and aviation pilots throughout the world.However, there are data gaps between airports that do not allow forpilots to confidently rely on their flights to have accurate weather andsituational awareness beyond the sensor's existing distributed datadistance capabilities. This leaves the burden of adverse weathermitigation up to the pilot to differentiate between what might be alife-threatening situation that may be too late to divert from withoutadequate notice. Additionally, drones are authorized to fly from thesurface (AGL) to 400 feet. Satellite capabilities lose strength andreliability between 3000-5000 feet from the surface.

The redundancy server 103 c controls and communicates with all of theuniversal computing nodes 101 a-d, 105 a-b on the smart self-healingnode-centric blockchain mesh network 131. The redundancy server 103 cmay detect a failure of an active universal computing node 105 a from afailure to respond to communications with any other universal computingnode in the smart self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network 131.The redundancy server 103 c also may be informed of a failure of one ormore components, including sensors, by an active universal computingnode 105 a on the smart self-healing node-centric blockchain meshnetwork 131. Whenever a failure occurs, the redundancy server 103 cdetermines the sensors attached to the universal computing node 105 athat has the failure as well as determines the functions performed bythis universal computing node 105 a within the smart self-healingnode-centric blockchain mesh network 131.

With this information, the redundancy server 103 c identifies otheruniversal computing nodes 105 b within the smart self-healingnode-centric blockchain mesh network 131 that may replace thefunctionality of the failed computing node and coordinates the failoverof the existing functions of the failed computing node to itsreplacement node. This failover may include transferring any data storedwithin the failed node to the replacement node. The failover also mayinclude transmitting a message to one or more universal computing nodesand servers on the smart self-healing node-centric blockchain meshnetwork 131 that the failover is occurring. The other nodes in the smartself-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network 131 may update theirconfiguration data to address all data requests and relatedcommunications that had been assigned to the computing that has failedto the replacement computing node. As such, the entire system within thesmart self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network 131 continues tooperate after a brief failover as if the failure had not occurred. Datais also validated by a cluster of a minimum of two nodes and up thatvalidates the data is trusted data using a proof of reputation (PRO) andobservation of the data on the decentralized blockchain node-centricmesh network.

It should be noted that the present invention uses data exchangesdisclosed within the commonly assigned US patent application referencedherein to store all of the data found on each universal computing nodein the preferred embodiment. Data can also be cloud stored at the edgeand processed at the edge as a P2P, P2C feature that can be on aninverted aggregated data, time and processing fractalized cloud server,where the data geniuses are created. As disclosed herein, the dataexchanges utilize a blockchain ledger 115 a to store this data forretrieval upon request. Because a blockchain ledger 115 a automaticallytransfers all blockchain records 500, as described below, to multipleuniversal computing nodes to be added to multiple copies of anyparticular blockchain ledger 115 a, and because a blockchain record 500is not included in a blockchain ledger 115 a until the inclusion of therecord has generated a matching blockchain checksum or similarlycomputed value generated from the addition of the record to the ledger,very little data is expected to be transferred from a failing computingnode to its replacement node as part of the failover or out ofcharacteristic proof of reputation observation (PRO) process. Dataredundancy and availability are automatically maintained by the smartself-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network 131 with the use ofthe blockchain ledgers.

The redundancy server 103 c may maintain a failover database 113 c thatcontains rules for how particular node failures and or out-of-characterbad data are to be handled. These rules may be specified for eachuniversal computing node within the smart self-healing node-centricblockchain mesh network 131 or may be specified by groups of similarlyfunctioning universal computing nodes as appropriate. The redundancyserver 103 c may generate messages to system operators, node and dataexchange owners, and any other interested party to inform theseindividuals of the failover event. The transmission of these messagesmay initiate a service request for maintenance and repair of theuniversal computing node that has caused the failover event.

The delivery server 103 b permits external users to access the smartself-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network-based data exchangesystem 100 to request and schedule the services of a UAV 125 to performa flight on their behalf. With respect to the smart self-healingnode-centric blockchain mesh network-based data exchange system 100, thedelivery server 103 b provides an ordering and scheduling service tocause a UAV 125 to schedule a flight to inspect a location of an object.The request may include requirements of the UAV 125 such as theresolution and characteristic of the imaging device contained within theUAV 125, the range and ability to plan a flight to a location over aparticular flight path, and the available schedule for a flight thatmeets any time or weather requirements of the user requesting theinspection be performed. The delivery server 103 a may coordinate thecreation of a flight path with the air traffic controller server 103 a.All of the data associated with the request for a flight, itsscheduling, its status, and results may be maintained within a dataexchange as otherwise disclosed herein for use by the repair reportgenerator 154 and any other use of the smart, self-healingblockchain-based data exchange. The same data can use artificialintelligence and machine learning to avoid objects and terrain eitherinternally or by third-party applications using APIs, SDKs, and orfirmware that are available for their external operations orparticipation without this system.

Examples of systems that may be implemented using a set of processingnodes 110-113 including autonomous flying devices that utilize computingnodes are described in more detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No.16/866,484, titled “Smart Drone Rooftop and Ground Airport System,” andfiled on May 4, 2020, that itself claims priority to U.S. ProvisionalPatent Application No. 62/842,757, filed May 3, 2019 titled “UniversalAutomated Artificial Intelligence Rooftop UAS/UAV Drone Port/AirportStation For General Purpose Services Of Robotic UAS/UAVs, And ItsSupporting Hardware & Equipment Related To: Loading/UnloadingDeliveries, Deployment/Arrival, Dispatching, Air Traffic Control,Charging, Storing/Garaging, De-Icing/Anti-Icing, Meteorological & DataDissemination/Retrieval, Big Data Mining And Mimo Network Services” andthe U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 17/187,871, titled “SmartCity Smart Drone UAS/UAV//VTOL Mailbox Landing Pad” filed on Feb. 28,2021, that claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.62/983,486, titled “Smart City Smart Drone UAS/UAV//VTOL Mailbox LandingPad”, filed Feb. 28, 2020. As well as the Smart Delivery Doorbell andChime Miner and Smart Drone Landing Pad Miner. U.S. Provisional PatentApplication, Ser. No. 63/322,579, titled “Smart Delivery Doorbell andChime Data Blockchain Miner with Crypto and Token Integration and SmartDrone Landing Pad Data Miner,” filed Mar. 22, 2022. All of theseapplications are incorporated herein as if recited in their entirety.

The present invention addresses the limitations of prior solutions tothese problems while working with other components of a Smart DroneRooftop and Ground Airport System and the Smart Mailbox Landing Pad IPsystem. Using its AI-Machine Learning in a Delivery Drone Network,Universal Computing Nodes in a Distributed Computing Environment, andLow Latency Scalable, Modular, agnostic data and interoperable hardwareusing Blockchain Weather Data Exchange IP that will allow for thecommunication of sensors that are strategically positioned on top ofexisting building rooftops and vacant ground surroundings that have beenrepurposed as drone and vertical takeoff and landing vehicle (VTOL)smart airport/vertiport infrastructure. Each time a smart droneairport/vertiport is added to a roof, national air space (NAS) is safer,and each time-integrated sensors are daisy-chained on smartairport/vertiports data gaps are filled between existing airports.Operators of aircraft, drones, unmanned vehicles, and robots will beable to rely on decentralized weather data, once not available, and willbe willing to pay for it because it has been validated. The operation ofthis system is described in detail in the related US patent applicationscited above.

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the aboveapplications of universal computing node technology within a distributedprocessing system in support of autonomous flying devices may also beused as multi-modal transportation hailing full-stack system of peopleand cargo in autonomous marine and ground-based environments in similarways. Additionally, the use of universal computing node technologywithin a distributed processing system may be used to solve other dataprocessing problems that arise as data is collected from sensors locatedacross a large geographic area while the data from all of these sensorsmay be combined to represent data across the large geographic area atvarying resolutions. Such data can be used as a Digital Twin forpredictive analytics, maintenance, and sensor lifecycles.

For example, local weather data may be collected from environmentalsensors located adjacent to the distributed processing nodes that may beuseful for autonomous devices within the geographic area at a fineresolution to operate as weather condition changes. The same weatherdata may be combined at a coarser resolution for route planning of theautonomous devices across the geographic area in weather daisy-chainedarchitecture. Even larger resolution weather data may be used forapplications at regional and national levels. Even at a local level fordensity weather data, a Smart Delivery Doorbell and Chime Miner, SmartDrone Mailbox Landing Pad Miner, and or Smart Drone Landing Pad Minerwith weather sensors on it may be used for departure and arrival datainformation, in addition to the weather sensor payloads on the en-routedrone that provides for a full departure, en-route and arrival ofweather situational awareness, right to the doorstep of the end-user.The use of the distributed processing nodes to process the raw weatherdata in increasingly larger areas with larger resolution allows all ofthese data representations of the same weather data to be generatedusing processing and data raw and or by fusion and combining algorithmsin a number of computing nodes. This processing utilizes the combinedprocessing capacity of all of the computing nodes to permit largeamounts of data to be processed simultaneously that may generatenear-real-time, real-time, and even faster than real-time predictiveanalytics results for all of these levels of usage. Of course, similarapplications to weather processing from many other industries are easilysupported in similar manners.

Additionally, the provision of a data exchange used in an autonomous UAVdelivery system is one example embodiment of a data exchange that may beimplemented by the present invention. The sensor data of the universalcomputing node obtained at the edge of a distributed computingenvironment may be any generated data that may be processed and storedonto a blockchain ledger. The generated data may be validated asdisclosed herein to become validated data that may be trusted to theextent that the operator of the particular computing node generating thedata may be a trusted source of data. The validated data, regardless ofcontent, may be searched by query using creator/distributor and dataacquisition user back-office dashboards that dynamically allow thenegotiation of the terms and conditions of the two dashboards where afinal non-fungible right (NFR) will be created from it and identifiedusing the metadata as disclosed herein. The validated data also may beacquired with a set of access rights as disclosed herein. The presentinvention is not intended to be limited to any particular exampleembodiment described here and is defined by the limitations recitedwithin the attached claims.

The data exchange server 102 has positioned itself to be hardware (node)and software agnostic. The open platform is a scalable, interoperable,and modular autonomous node-centric blockchain mesh networkinfrastructure of blockchain verified and consensus of PRO data, on alayer zero (L_0) and state channel HGTP, Web3, DAG traditional centralcloud, edge cloud, and or inverted aggregated cloud architecturenetwork, which can be daisy-chained for situational awareness and detectand avoid features between nodes such as autonomous drones, mannedaircraft, and manned and unmanned ground vehicles sensors, landing pads,vertiports, charging stations, drone ports, smart delivery doorbell, andchime miner, smart drone landing pad miner, and other infrastructurehardware that can also be modified to provide as a data miner at theedge. This creates a BVLOS commercially viable, scalable, modular,environmentally, and economically sustainable both through traditionaland tokenomics crypto/token utility solutions for the UAV and otherindustries. The Vertiport-in-a-Box (VIB) solution allows the system tointegrate custom use case partners that provide autonomous hardware forair, ground, and marine vehicles and software data sensors using ournode application. The VIB solution can be offered with financingpayments with amortization terms that may also be used to later sell asa Data-Backed Security(DBS) because it is an asset-backed security thatcan be rated from DISC's Data Rating Service(DRS) IPs.

More generically, the present invention provides the first true dataexchange. In order to provide for a decentralized location where datacan be discoverable and queried, an Autonomous Mobility Data Exchange(AMX), will support an autonomous market maker data exchange for datasuppliers and data acquisition users. This exchange will be launchedfrom the Lattice Launch Pad on a state channel, layer zero (L_0) HGTP,Web3, and DAG network, where AMX will have multiple industry-specificexchanges which will come out in stages. These exchanges are acombination of AMX Pools, AMX Network Architecture, and AMXSub-Exchanges.

The AMX Pools use crypto and token economics and network bandwidth forcrypto and or token pools for specific categories. AMX will usesub-exchange proposal pools, data supplier access pools, user accesspools, and user supplier pools.

The AMX architecture must have the flexibility and dexterity of an opennetwork, crypto, digital wallet platform, and token exchange. Thepresent invention models both provided this solution. Key elements toachieve this goal are for the architecture to be industry decentralized(DeFi) and or inverted aggregated data architecture network, that isdata agnostic, open platform, interoperable, modular, scalable,multi-exchange data storage for the depository and repository of data,data-on-demand, static data, and dynamic data that can be converted intoa non-fungible right(NFR).

The AMX also provides for industry-specific sub-exchanges andcross-sub-exchanges. These exchanges include a weather data exchange, adrone delivery data exchange, and industry-specific sub-exchanges. Theseindustry-specific exchanges will allow for data to be discoverable on aspecific exchange. The AMX architecture also will allow users torepurpose data on multiple industry exchanges.

An HGTP horizontal hypergraph requires projects to create liquidity andbandwidth pools to access the network and create liquidity of L_0tokens. The present invention requires liquidity and bandwidth supportfor its smart delivery drone mobile application. Social and Loyaltycrypto/token rewards can be given to end-user, operators, and or vendorsthat participate in the smart delivery drone mobile application. Througha staking program, the present invention provides liquidity providersrewards with tokens as an APY. The Platform Community Token Rewardsprogram will be used to support the liquidity pool. As a data provideronboards, for example, a traditional and non-traditional manual andautonomous smart drone, smart landing pad, smart mailbox landing padsTM,smart charging station, smart container, smart delivery doorbell, andchime miner, smart drone landing pad miner, UGV, robot, eVTOL, UMV,sensors, data miners, mobile driver, and user apps as a hardware node tothe network, the needed throughput on the hypergraph network will beincreased and supported. The present invention provides these nodesolutions through its smart node-centric mesh network in collaborationwith the Hypergraph network. The cross-connection of the nodescommunicating also allows for artificial intelligence and machinelearning (AIML).

FIG. 2 illustrates a universal computing node for use in a system forproviding a smart, blockchain-based data exchange data storage devicewithin a self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network according tothe present invention. A universal computing node 105 a may operate toperform any function that may be implemented in software containingexecutable instructions within an application. The computing node 105 amay receive an application from a remote source such as an applicationserver 103 c that may work with local hardware 209 and local inputdevices such as imaging devices 207 a and weather sensors 207 b. Theutilization of the application server 103 d permits the development andusage of additional devices attached to the computing node 101 as neededto perform desired functions. The local hardware 209 and local inputdevices 207 a-b permit the inclusion of additional components thatpermit the computing node 105 a to be universal in its possiblefunctions.

The computing node 105 a as disclosed herein is within a larger systemthat supports the use of UAV 125 to perform autonomous deliveries ofpackages from vendors to purchasers using the smart mailbox landing padsto accept deliveries and provide pickup locations of these packages asdisclosed within the above-cited and pending US patent application. Thesmart mailbox landing pads perform all of the functions to communicatewith a UAV 125 as it approaches the smart mailbox landing pad to make adelivery including identification and authorization to land and deliverpackages as well as provide secure retention of the delivered packagesuntil retrieved by a user. Any particular smart mailbox landing pad istypically in use a small portion of the time and for most instances, thecomputing node 101 within the smart mailbox landing pad is available forother purposes.

The computing node 105 a supports these other purposes by permitting theattachment of the local hardware 209 and the local input devices 207-a-bto provide data to be generated for use by the UAV 125 and related airtraffic server 103 a functions needed by the UAV 125. For example, thelocal input devices 207-a-b may include any number of weather sensors207 b including temperature, wind speed, air pressure, humidity,precipitation, and the like. The local input devices 207-a-b also mayinclude an imaging device 207 a that can provide real-time images ofpresent weather, road conditions, and traffic levels around the smartmailbox landing pad miner, smart delivery doorbell miner, and or smartlanding pad miner. Because the smart mailbox landing pads are typicallylocated throughout a geographic area in which users are located, theinclusion of the local input devices 207 a and weather sensors 207 b iscapable of providing critical real-time data for the UAV 125 and the airtraffic servers 103 a when planning and monitoring the flight paths ofthe UAV 125 as they occur.

All of the data generated by computing node 105 a may be transmitted toother computing nodes and servers for use as appropriate. The generateddata also may be included within a secure data exchange for possiblesale and use by any other computing systems. Additionally, the computingnode 105 a also may provide general computing capacity includingcomputing operations and data storage that may be sold to other users inneed of these services such as processing, storing, mining, networktime-sharing, inverted aggregation of data at the edge on an edge cloudarchitecture network and or fractalization of data and networks as anexample. As such, the computing capacity of the computing node 105 awhich is available when a UAV 125 is not engaged with the computing node105 a is repurposed for these other usages.

Additionally, the functions performed by the computing node 105 a maychange over time as needed. The computing node 105 a may downloadmultiple applications from the application server 103 d and time sharethe computing capacity of the computing node 105 a to support differentcomputing usages. The computing node 105 a also may be within the UAV125 in which the local hardware 209 and the local input devices 207-a-bcorrespond to the flight data inputs and flight controls of the UAV 125needed to proceed along a flight path. Of course, the computing nodes105 a also may be used in other devices and locations other than smartmailbox landing pads and similar hardware.

Additionally, the functions of the computing node 105 a may utilizeartificial intelligence and machine learning (AIML) using the sensordata 207-a-b of the computing node 101 to determine the operation of thecomputing node 105 a when similar conditions arise within the sensordata 207 a-b. The applications downloaded by the computing node mayinclude and/or utilize these AIML functions throughout the operation ofthe computing node and its software components of FIGS. 5a-c . The nodescan be used for Digital Twin that can provide for data analytics such ashardware lifecycles, traffic management, maintenance, and real-timesimulations.

A computing node 105 a of FIG. 3 may be constructed using one or morecomponents including a set of programmable processing components 201, acommunications interface that provides for a full spectrum frequencyhopping of communications 202, a smart, self-healing blockchain-baseddata exchange device 203, useful data 204, a power source 205, an inputcontrol device 206, one or more external sensors 207a-b, a set ofspecific processing functions 208, local hardware components 209, localdata storage 210, and AI-machine learning functions 211.

The set of programmable processing components 201 includes all of theprogrammable hardware and memory used to create a computing device thatmay operate as a computing node 105 a. A computing system is describedin more detail with regards to FIG. 3 below.

The communications interface 202 permits the programmable processingcomponents 201 to communicate with remote user computing devices 102a-band 101 a-d. The communications interface 202 performs all of the dataformatting, computer-to-computer communications, encryption processing,and all similar operations needed by the programmable processingcomponents 201 to communicate with other nodes 101a-d and servers 102a-b.

The smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203 is adata storage system that is used to capture, mine, validate, log orledger, and maintain data onto a blockchain-based ledger for retrievalby the computing nodes 101 a-d and other computing systems. The smart,self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203 contains blocksof encrypted data and uses blockchain processing to ensure that the dataretrieved from the smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchangedevice 203 is accurate and not corrupted. Blockchain processing storesdata in multiple blockchain ledgers on different computing systems usingall entries in the ledger in the computation of data stored into eachblock of data stored on the ledger such that any changes to a data entryin one of the data blocks added to the smart, self-healingblockchain-based data exchange device 203 would cause all subsequentlyadded data blocks to identify an error when retrieved and decrypted. Asimplified description of blockchain processing may be found athttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-does-blockchain-work-dummies-explained-simply-collin-thompson/whichis incorporated herein in its entirety.

Because the smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange 203requires identical ledgers to be maintained in multiple computingsystems, the inclusion of a blockchain ledger 203 in each of thecomputing nodes 101 a-w provides distributed processing systems that runin parallel to maintain the multiple copies of a particular ledger usinga decentralized layer zero HGTP hyper transfer protocol and directedacyclic graph (DAG). A data block retrieved from the blockchain ledger203 that matches a copy of the same data blocks from other computingnodes may be trusted to be an accurate copy of the data block whenstored onto the smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchangedevice 203.

The smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203 may beused to store any type of data that is generated or processed bycomputing systems. In the systems noted above that relate to autonomousdevices, a smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203may be useful to record data of the various flights of the autonomousflying devices, including the date and time of each flight segment froma point of takeoff, a point of a destination, locations of any waypointsfollowed in a flight, weather data associated with the particularflight, and any information regarding the purpose of the flight, thecargo transported in the particular flight, and any point of saleinformation related to the cargo. As noted in the UAV descriptions, thecomputing nodes may be associated with rooftop airports, smart mailboxlanding pads, smart delivery doorbell, and chime miners, smart deliverylanding pad miners, and related devices that are spatially distributedacross a geographical area that have functions associated with thedistributed devices that have computer control functions. The smart,self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203 and associatedprocessing may proceed as background processing functions when thecomputing nodes 101a-d are not needed by the autonomous flying devicecontrol system.

Useful data 204 may be generated by each computing node 101 a-d basedupon the functions and devices that are part of a particular computingnode. For example, a computing node 105 a may collect local data fromattached sensors 207-a-b to computing nodes 105 a that are spatiallydistributed across a geographical area. Real-time weather data is onetype of data that may be captured at a larger number of computing nodes105 a across a geographical area. All of the weather data from all ofthe computing nodes 101 a-d may be combined into a real-time view ofweather conditions across the geographical area. This weather data maybe combined into a common weather map using a set of processing nodes110-113. This weather map may be useful to a UAV control network;additionally, this weather map data may be useful to other users on theInternet 110. As such, the weather maps may represent one type of usefuldata that is generated and maintained in a computing node 105 a that maybe provided to other systems to increase revenue generated by the set ofprocessing nodes 110-113.

The power source 205 may be used to provide electrical energy to operatethe computing node 105 a, any attached sensors 207 a-n, local hardwarecomponents 209, and network communication functions associated with eachcomputing node 105 a. Certain computing nodes 105 a and related attacheddevices may be located when a power connection to a power grid isdifficult and expensive to be provided. Additionally, other computingnodes 105 a, such as computing nodes 105 a that is part of UAVs, may bemobile devices that require a self-contained power source. The powersource of the present invention 205 may comprise a Tritium™-based powersource that provides a power source having a long useful life providingelectrical power. Examples of these power sources may include many typesof self-charging, nano-diamond, and diamond nuclear voltaic batteries.Other long-life power sources include solar power devices, hydrogenpower generating devices, and similar nuclear-based power sources havinga useful long life.

The input control device 206 provides input and output processing toprovide operators of the computing nodes with messages and data neededto control the operation of the computing node 105 a and its functions.This input control device 206 also accepts commands from a user toinstruct the application in the computing node 105 a to performparticular tasks.

The one or more external sensors 207-a-b may be connected to eachcomputing node 101 to provide data that may be useful for the functionsperformed by a particular node. As noted above, a computing node 105 amay collect local data from attached sensors 207-a-b to computing nodes101 that are spatially distributed across a geographical area. Thislocal data may include images, video, and audio data from a cameradevice 207 a that provides a real-time view of an area about thecomputing node 105 a. This local data also may include weather data fromsensors 207 b that measure weather data including temperature, windspeed and direction, humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation,among other data values. The computing node 105 a may collect the datavalues from these sensors 207-a-b to provide to other computing deviceson the Internet 110 as well as use the data values to generate otherdata that may be useful to other processing nodes 101a-d and othercomputing devices.

The set of specific processing functions 208 may be part of a computingnode 105 a to control local hardware components 209 that are part of thelocation of the computing node 101. For example, a computing node 105 amay be part of a rooftop airport or a smart mailbox landing pad that isused to launch and receive autonomous flying devices. The airports andsmart mailboxes may require processing functions to communicate with theautonomous flying devices as part of the control of these flyingdevices. Additionally, a smart mailbox may include components that openand close to provide storage for mail and packages to be received whenan autonomous flying device arrives at the smart mailbox. The set ofspecific processing functions 208 may control the operation of the smartmailbox as well as notify a user of the arrival of a package asappropriate. The set of specific processing functions 208 provides allprocessing functions to support the devices that are associated with thecomputing node 105 a at a particular location.

The local hardware components 209 are the physical components to permitthe computing node to operate as a specific device. For example, a smartmailbox, as noted above, may have devices to communicate with theautonomous devices, accept packages from the autonomous devices, andcommunicate with users about the arrival of a package by the smartmailbox. These local hardware components 209 are used to allow thecomputing node 105 a to function as any particular device or system.

The local data storage 210 contains semi-permanent and permanent datastorage devices to store data used by software applications executed bythe computing node 105 a, store and provide data as needed to thesoftware applications executed by the computing node 105 a, and storevarious software applications that may be used to dynamically configurea computing node 105 a from one set of processing functions to anotherset of processing functions. The local data storage may be containedwithin devices attached to the location of the computing node 105 a aswell as be contained within devices communicatively connected to thecomputing node 101 over the Internet 105 a.

The AI-machine learning functions 211 may be included within a computingnode 105 a to assist in functions to be performed by the computing node105 a and its attached devices. As the state of AI-machine learningfunctions continues to mature, the inclusion of these functions may beuseful in a large number of areas. For example, computing nodes 105 athat is part of an autonomous device network may include a number offunctions associated with the control of the autonomous devices, therouting of the autonomous device travel paths, the detection ofdangerous conditions associated with local weather conditions andpossible in route collisions, situational awareness for detection andavoidance of possible collisions between the autonomous devices, anddynamic rerouting of autonomous devices as needed. All of theseprocessing functions may benefit from the use of AI-machine learningfunctions 211 to provide improved functioning of the computing node 105a based upon data obtained from the particular location of the computingnode 105 a.

Edge universal computing nodes can communicate peer-to-peer,point-to-point, and point-to-cloud, and is agnostic with other nodes whowish to transfer data onto the network. Near real-time daisy-chaining ofdata between nodes can create an AIML environment between nodescommunicating on the smart node-centric blockchain mesh network.

FIG. 4 illustrates a data exchange validated data record that may beused as part of a system for providing a smart, blockchain-based dataexchange data storage device within a self-healing node-centricblockchain mesh network according to the present invention. The smartself-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network data exchange system100 of the present invention is an open platform that is hardwareagnostic and software interoperable for all participating stakeholdermanufacturers. The validated data can be blockchain validated through aBlockchain Validation as a Service (BVDaaS) solution. Once this data istrusted with integrity and scored for its reliability, it can berepurposed for sale, lease, license, use and/or reuse, through adiscoverable dashboard query on a specific data exchange(s) with a smartcontract, state channel, non-fungible token (NFT) and or non-fungibleright (NFR). The present invention provides this solution to make theexisting models of autonomous infrastructure commercially viable andsustainable through the subsidization and monetization of theparticipating stakeholders near real-time and/or historic repurposeddata supplied.

Aside from BVDaaS, NFT, and NFR solutions, additional vertical marketsin this commercial building sector can be further broken down toaccommodate an understanding of the building activity by the tenants andhow it can relate to drone delivery revenue. One example of how theprocess works can be demonstrated in the bullet points below:

-   -   Onboarded Strategic Hardware Manufacturer Partners are        integrated with nodes on a smart node-centric operating system        for direct edge computing.    -   Sensor Data Suppliers supply data using their sensors through        direct node point-to-point and/or point-to-cloud services. This        data can be used with their own operations related to a fleet of        drones, drone customers, and or sensors.    -   Consumer retail or food end-user orders come in from the smart        node-centric mesh operating system's Smart Delivery Drone Mobile        App on a mobile phone.    -   Smart Antennas having full-spectrum frequency hopping for        communication and or cloud networking allowing for a shared time        at the edge, cyber inflation monetization, processing sharing,        memory and storage sharing, inverted/reversed aggregated data        network architecture to be able to have any data, any device,        anywhere, any frequency and any blockchain and any network.    -   The order is processed using the end-user's mobile device or        online.    -   Blockchain origination begins on the end-user side of the        participating app user.    -   Blockchain origination begins as participating drones, smart        delivery doorbells and chime miners, smart drone landing pad        miners, smart drone miners, smart container miners, smart        mailbox landing pad miners, landing pads, charging stations,        drone ports, drone hangers, drone containers, that are being        used in the storage, charging, departing, enroute and or        arriving operations, which use sensor payloads on the edge        (point) of the network, to begin the sensor data blockchain        validation process of planning, approving, and executing the        operational delivery objective.    -   On the point-to-point side of the hardware, AIML allows for all        participating nodes (hardware) to edge compute and communicate        with each other to share and learn information that is        mission-critical. This information can be weather conditions,        object detection, and or hardware health, to name a few. Data        that needs to go through the cloud will go directly to the data        exchange. This information allows for beyond visual line of        sight (BVLOS), through situational awareness, autonomous        decision-making, detecting and avoiding objects and adverse        weather avoidance, minimizing grounding of operations, and        turn-key operational fulfillment.    -   Alternatively, an end-user can use Smart Mailbox Landing Pad and        order on its digital touch screen interface between any of the        competing shipping carrier delivery services such as USPS,        FedEx, UPS, and/or DHL. The landing pad cavity can be rental        space available for different companies to use for their own        private blockchain network and CPU.    -   During this process, participating strategic partners and        stakeholders can opt into having the data bifurcated into near        real-time streaming or placed in a repository to be sold on data        exchanges.    -   Data End-users can now go to the specific data exchange of        interest and purchase, lease, license, use and/or reuse the data        for their own specific use or purpose.    -   Data can be repurposed then and used later for any purpose such        as omniverse, metaverse, VR, MR, AR, and gaming environments for        example.

The smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203 isdeveloping the first-of-its-kind autonomous delivery mobile andnode-centric open platform network system. The smart self-healingnode-centric blockehain mesh network-based data exchange system 100 hascombined its smart node-centric blockchain mesh network IP applicationwith its Smart Drone Rooftop and Ground Airport/Vertiport IP, SmartMailbox Landing Pad IP, Smart Delivery Doorbell and Chime Miner, SmartDrone Landing Pad Miner, and or any other contributing data minerdevices and sensors and its Smart Delivery Drone Mobile Application as aone-source solution for drone, vehicle, and robot on-demand hailing viainhouse and participating third-party fleet supply chains through aninteroperable, scalable and modular, delivery open platform system thatallows for data to be blockchain validated as trusted data withintegrity and used for situational awareness and collision detection andavoidance, to provide an autonomous BVLOS delivery hailing service,using AIML for its near real-time, real-time and faster than real-timedecision making in its specific operational use. After operational useof data, it can be reclassified as trustworthy “repurposed data.”

Existing delivery transportation supply chain infrastructures bog downwhen introduced with more manually driven vehicles and trucks to sustainand maintain scalability. Roads and highways slow this delivery processdown through traffic bottlenecking, stop signs, accidents, detours,weather, and available labor power. Multimodal milestone integration iskey to the evolution of autonomy when it comes to transportationdelivery. Being able to identify available modal transportation on thedelivery of people and cargo Smart Delivery Drone App., allows for theuser to choose between modal deliveries that are available based on anytype of variable such as payload, energy, geo-location, weather,maintenance, to name a few. The smart node-centric mesh operating systemwill use software that permits the hailing of manual and autonomousvehicles currently existing in transportation while transitioning thedrones, eVTOL/VTOLS, UGVs, UMVs, and robots throughout the regulatoryapproval processes.

The smart self-healing node-centric blockchain mesh network-based dataexchange system 100 uses the data exchange server 102 as a search queryprocessor that allows users to search for validated data 420 that islocated within a s smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchangedevice 203 of all of the universal computing nodes 105 i shown in FIG.4. The smart, self-healing blockchain-based data exchange device 203comprises a blockchain processor 404 and blockchain ledger 115 i. Thevalidated data 420 is created by the sensors 406 that is processed bythe blockchain processor 404 for inclusion within the blockchain ledger115i. The sensor data 416 is considered validated if it is obtained by auniversal node that has been onboarded into the data exchange system 100as disclosed herein. The sensor data 416 is considered trusted as it isfrom a known hardware node and geneses data source and validated byconsensus and clusters of nodes on the HGTP and DAG protocol and layerzero (L_0) network, these sensors 406, and is immediately processedwithin the blockchain processor 404 for inclusion in the blockchainledger 115 i. When a blockchain record of sensor data 500, as defined inreference to FIG. 5 below, is successfully added to the blockchainledger 115 i after it has been processed and agreed upon by a definednumber of blockchain processors in separate universal computing nodes105 a-b, the data record is considered to be validated data 420. When asearch for this data record is performed, the validated data 420 isknown to be from its trusted source obtained on a date and at a timespecified within the record 500 when retrieved from the blockchainledger 115 i. The data exchange search server 102 retrieves the record500 and its validated data 420 from the ledger 115 i upon request of auser submitting a search query. Operation of the data exchange searchserver 102 is described in detail below in reference to FIG. 7.

FIGS. 5 illustrates a data exchange validated data record that may beused as part of a system for providing a smart, blockchain-based dataexchange data storage device within a self-healing node-centricblockchain mesh network according to the present invention. Validateddata 420 is stored within the blockchain record 500 that comprises atleast the following data fields: a timestamp field 501, a universal nodeID field 502, a sensor metadata field 503, a blockchain address ID 504,a data access rights field 505, and a data contents field 520.

The timestamp field 501 contains time and date data corresponding to thedate and time when data from the sensors 406 was captured. Using theexample embodiment of a universal computing node 101 i that collectsweather data, the timestamp field 501 captures when the weather data wasrecorded. The timestamp data may be used to determine whether theweather data contained within the blockchain record 500 is too stale tobe considered current weather condition measurements for use with UAVscurrently airborne about this particular universal computing node 101 i.This timestamp data also may be used when past conditions at a specifiedtime are needed and is retrieved from the blockchain ledger 115 i. Staledata can be repurposed and resold under different NFR terms andconditions within the AMX data sub-exchanges.

The universal node ID field 502 contains a unique identifier thatcorresponds to the universal computing node 101 i that generated thedata contained within the blockchain record 500. This unique identifierwill identify the source operating the universal computing node 101 i aswell as its location.

The sensor metadata field 503 defines the contents of the blockchainrecord 500 in terms to be used when a search is performed for requesteddata. The universal computing node 101 i is configured to specifyrelevant terms that will permit the record to be found when needed. Forthe embodiment that collects weather data, the month, day, and year ofthe data's collection, the location of the sensors when the data wascollected, and the types of data contained therein typically is used forthe contents of the sensor metadata field 503. This metadata may beconfigured when the universal computing node 101 i is initialized. Themetadata also may be updated periodically when other useful terms may beassociated with the sensor data when it is being collected. For example,weather data collected as a named storm is passing by the universalcomputing node 101 i may be a useful metadata value that would allowusers to search for all data associated with “Hurricane Amy” for datacollected when this particular named hurricane was in the vicinity. Thisparticular metadata term may then be removed from insertion into newblockchain records 500 once the hurricane has moved on.

The blockchain address ID 504 contains a unique address corresponding tothe location of the blockchain record 500 within the blockchain ledger115 i. All blockchain ledgers identify their location within the ledgerpermitting specific data records to be retrieved from any universalcomputing node maintaining a copy of this particular ledger.

The data access rights field 505 contains a default set of digital datarights that may be obtained for the data within a particular blockchainrecord 500. As disclosed in detail in reference to FIG. 7 below, datawithin the data exchange may be acquired by a user in one or more of adefined set of types of digital rights available for purchase. The ownerof the collected data may specify how the data may be acquired and thepossible types of rights identified in the data access rights field 505.For example, data within a data record of 500 may be acquired for usefor a limited period of time or may be acquired with a specific set ofpermissible uses. These access rights are set by the data owner. Thetype of access rights may change over time as the nature of the datachanges. For weather data, permissible uses of data that are consideredcurrent may be different from permissible uses once the weather data isconsidered historical. The price associated with each permissible useand type of access rights granted may depend upon the nature of the dataat the time when the data is used as well as when it was acquired.

The data contents field 520 contains the data from the sensors 406. Theparticular sensors used, their serial numbers, and other relevantinformation associated with the data are contained in the data contentsfield. Of course, the contents of the data may vary depending upon thesensors, the associated data scales of the data, any language of usersof the data, and many other values that may be contained in this datafield. Alternatively, additional fields also may be included within theblockchain data record 500. For example, an additional field that stateswhether temperature data is measured in Fahrenheit or Celsius data.Similarly, wind speeds may be measured in miles per hour or meters persecond depending upon the sensor and the data usage.

FIG. 6 illustrates a set of software components 600 used within auniversal computing node within a distributed computing device within anetwork of UAVs 125, smart rooftop UAV airports and landing pads, andremote UAV landing pads such as the Smart Rooftop Airport and LandingPad and the Smart Mailbox Landing Pad disclosed in the commonly owned USPatent Applications cited above.

The set of software components 600 comprises a node controller 611, aweb interface 612, a wireless interface 613, a blockchain searcher 614,a blockchain processor 615, a storage interface 618, an apploader/retriever 619, and a sensor interface 616 coupled to a set ofsensors 617. As noted above, the combination of a blockchain processor615 and blockchain ledger 115 i creates a smart, self-healingblockchain-based data exchange device 203.

The node controller 611 acts as a central controller for the set ofsoftware components 612-619. Commands from the applications are receivedand processed to determine actions to be taken, and then mobile appcommands are passed to the other software components 612-619, as needed,to implement the actions to be taken. The node controller 611 also mayreceive and process data received from the web interface 612, thewireless interface 613, and the local hardware and local input devicesfor use in the applications running on the computing node 101 i.

The web interface 612 permits the computing nodes 101 i to communicatewith remote computing devices such as application servers 603, airtraffic servers 602, and mobile UAV devices 601. The web interface 612performs all of the data formatting, computer-to-computercommunications, encryption processing, and all similar operations neededby the computing node 101 i to communicate with these remote systems anddevices.

The wireless interface 613 also permits the computing nodes 101 i tocommunicate with remote computing devices such as application servers603, air traffic servers 602, and mobile UAVs 125 over a wirelesscommunications channel that can be frequency agnostic as a full spectrumfrequency hopping and smart antenna solution. The wireless interface 613is especially useful to permit a computing node 101 i to communicatewith a computing node within a UAV 125 while in flight. The wirelessinterface 613 performs all of the data formatting, computer-to-computercommunications, encryption processing, and all similar operations neededby the computing node 101 i to communicate with these remote systems anddevices.

The blockchain searcher 614 receives a search query from a user via thedata change search server 101 as described below in reference to FIG. 7The blockchain searcher 614 uses the search query to identify blockchainrecords 500 in which the terms within the search query match themetadata terms within the blockchain data record 500. In someembodiments, the blockchain searcher 614 may maintain a search index(not shown) containing pointers to the blockchain data records 500having particular metadata values. This search index may be updated whena new blockchain data record 500 is added to the blockchain ledger 115i. Other searching techniques and related database structures may beincluded in the blockchain searcher 614 to perform fast and efficientsearches for matching blockchain data records 500.

FIG. 7 illustrates a data exchange data record search server that may beused as part of a system for providing a smart, blockchain-based dataexchange data storage device within a self-healing node-centricblockchain mesh network according to the present invention. The set of aset of software components 700 used in a data exchange data searchserver 102 as part of a system for providing a smart, blockchain-baseddata exchange data storage device within a self-healing node-centricblockchain mesh network according to the present invention.

The data exchange data record search server 102 may provideDecentralized Financing (DeFi) through cryptocurrencies andparticipating currencies, the launch pad, and staking programs. Usingthe Data Rating Service and or Data-Backed Securities service, one canmonetize and or subsidize the VIB payment terms supported with theAsset-Backed Security of the device node miners and the validated datait generates and supports on the Exchange(s). One can participate bylocking up (staking) a cryptocurrency for a period and receive rewards,incentives, and/or staking of a cryptocurrency itself. Launchpads can beused for blockchain projects and funding can be launched through thesame method. The data exchange data record search server incorporatesall these features to reward stakers and users using social interactionsof data suppliers, users, and the data itself, allowing for “nodegamification” rewards opportunities for end-users using the mobileapplications, but will also allow the stakers to have their ownincentives and opportunities for participation. Reward points, NFTs,NFRs, and cross-currencies are maintained and stored in the digitalwallet.

Additionally, participating cities and municipalities can now invest insensor data infrastructure that they themselves can subsidize and ormonetize through the system's industry-specific exchange(s). Once turnedon, the data exchange data record search server can identify them as anode data supplier; the sensors are not limited to the repurposed roofsand ground areas in the private sector. Existing institutional buildingssuch as police stations, airports, hospitals, roads, highways, bridges,railways, bus stations, train stations, and other transportationmultimodal rooftop solutions can provide data-driven sensors and thatcan become discoverable for other government agencies' use throughcross-platform demand. Any data that is not deemed confidential and orclassified can be repurposed for sale, lease, license, and/or free tothe public and private sectors but are not limited to any terms andconditions agreed to under the digital data bundle of rights (DDBR)solutions that create the NFR. Infrastructure inspections forpowerlines, highways, bridges, and towers can now be more cost-effectiveand less risky when carrying out the public services to maintain andmonitor them. Police dispatch and first responder features will allowfor time-sensitive and lifesaving critical data that could have beenlost without the quick access and execution of trusted data.

Discoverable data that can be market maker driven for end-users such asdrone operators, industry analysts, universities, aviators,meteorologists, scientists, vendors, suppliers, mobile app hailing usersfor the delivery of people and or cargo for crypto/token rewards, publicand private sector data acquisition companies, construction, real estatecompanies, municipalities, legal entities, law enforcement, military andeven just someone who simply would like to know the daily weather ontheir smartphone, to name a few, have been trapped in centralizedgovernment, institution, and industry-specific sectors that are eitherunknown or not discoverable to other market sectors as being trustedreliable integrity data that is available for purchase, lease, license,use, and/or reuse. Most used data is purged, dumped, deleted, and/orstored for historic memorialization because it either has no specificuse other than what it was intended for from its inception, it is toocostly to store if it has no further purpose, there is no place theyknow where to market the data, the data has a specific shelf life, theinformation is confidential or classified and the owner doesn't knowwhen it will be declassified or if they can repurpose the specific datathey are able and willing to sell, and/or the data is not verifiable andtherefore not reliable as data with integrity that can be tracked to itssource, giving little to no value to the end-user who might want topurchase the data or to the data supplier who put the sweat intooriginating the data who deserves to be paid for their labor.

The data exchange data record search server may operate as a BlockchainValidated Data as a Service (BVDasaS), Blockchain Validated Data Storageas a Service (BVDSasaS), Data Market Maker as a Service (DMMaaS), andData Aggregation and Railing as a Service (DARS).

The BVDasaS permits users to mine, validate and monetize raw, modeled,and co-op modeled data. The data exchange data record search serverintroduces the concept of “repurposing of data” on decentralizedsubject-specific discoverable data exchange(s) that will allow for datasuppliers and data users to have a go-to data market where they canquery and purchase and/or lease specific data on a discoverable dataexchange that they can rely on as validated. Chain of custody of thedata via blockchain allows data suppliers and stakeholders to becompensated for the data they have put through the BVDaaS interoperableopen platform data exchange model.

The BVDSasaS addresses the need to store validated data by thedepository and/or repository methods. BVDSasaS will provide data storageafter the blockchain validation process for data to be discoverable astrusted data on data exchanges.

DMMaaS creates a market as the market maker for data suppliers and datausers via industry-specific data exchange(s). Data suppliers will beable to place blockchain-validated data on the data exchange orexchanges. Here is where data users will be able to purchase, lease,license, use, reuse and/or receive for free this discoverable data underany terms or conditions that they dynamically interact and or select. Bysimply providing a query request of a keyword or words that the datasupplier set up in its back-office dashboard account, the end-user candiscover trusted data that has been validated through the network's nodeconsensus system on the L-0 HGTP, DAG, Web3, state channel, consensusnetwork layer.

The present invention may be used to create an autonomous deliveryinfrastructure system of systems by repurposing existing infrastructureand data through the steps of mining, cyber-secure data validating, andproviding monetization solutions, so that it has positioned itselfthrough its ViB solution to be the relied upon open platform system asthe autonomous interoperable integrator of hardware and software, theaggregator of participating sensor data suppliers, with discoverableintegrity data to the participating end users, as a market maker oftrusted, monetized and rewarded data via fiat, crypto, tokens, NFTs, andNFRs, to name a few.

In order to perform all of the above functions, the data exchange datarecord search server 102 software components 700 comprise a servercontroller 701, a server web interface 702, a search query processor703, a payment processor 604, a web search engine 705, an operatorinterface 706 coupled to user input/output devices 711-712, a useraccount manager 707, a database engine 708, and an access rights manager709.

The server controller 701 acts as a central controller for the set ofsoftware components 702-709. Operator commands from the operator inputdevices 711-712 via the operator interface 706 are received andprocessed to determine actions to be taken, and then server commands arepassed to the other software components 702-709, as needed, to implementthe actions to be taken. The node controller 701 also may receive andprocess data received from the web interface 702, associated with searchqueries from user search computers 721 a-b. The search queries arepassed to the search query processor 703 for transmittal to a universalcomputing node 101 i to perform a search against a blockchain ledger 115i.

The server web interface 702 permits the data exchange search server 604to communicate with remote computing devices such as universal computingnodes 101 a-n, application servers 603 and air traffic servers 602, andmobile UAVs 125. The web interface 702 performs all of the dataformatting, computer-to-computer communications, encryption processing,and all similar operations needed by the computing node 101 tocommunicate with these remote systems.

The search query processor 703 generates the search results foravailable blockchain data records 500 within the blockchain ledger 115 ibased upon a query or browse request from the users' computers 721 a-b.The query or browse request includes search terms, blockchain ledgeraddress IDs and universal computing node IDs, timestamp ranges, metadataterms to be matched, and possible location data associated with theuniversal computing nodes that are used by the search query processor703. The generated search results are returned to the users' computers721a-b via the server web interface 702

The payment processor 704 receives user payment information from theuser account manager 707 in order to submit a request for payment from aremote bank account transaction server (not shown). The user paymentinformation may comprise digital wallets for cryptocurrency, and orcredit and debit card information needed to initiate a payment foraccess rights to blockchain data records 500. The user paymentinformation also may be electronic check routing and account numbersneeded to initiate a payment for access rights to blockchain datarecords 500. The payment processor 604 receives a request for paymentfrom the access rights processor 709 once a user has submitted a requestto acquire access to digital data. Once payment has been received, thepayment processor 604 returns a notification to the access rightsprocessor 709 that it can release the access rights to the user.

The web search engine 705 provides users' computers 721 a-b a searchuser interface to locate and retrieve search results and correspondingblockchain data records 500. The web search engine 705 presents searchoptions to the users' computers in a graphical user interface (GUI)allowing users to log into the data exchange search server 604, tosubmit search queries that are processed by the search query processor703, and to acquire access rights and download blockchain data records500. The present invention uses the payment processor 704 and the rightsaccess processor 709 to satisfy requests to acquire access rights anddownload blockchain data records 500.

The operator interface 706 coupled to user input/output devices 711-712provides input and output processing to provide a server operator withmessages and data needed to perform, configure, operate, maintain, andbackup the data exchange search server 604. This interface module 706also accepts commands from the user input/output devices 711-712 toinstruct the server to perform these tasks.

The user account manager 707 permits users to connect to and access thedata exchange search server 604. The user account manager 707 isresponsible for creating and managing user accounts for the users 721a-b, and universal computing node administrators (not shown). The useraccount manager 707 also is used in authenticating a user based uponuser input. Typically, the user input uses a username and password.Multi-factor authentication, use of one-time passwords, and similarsecure authentication mechanisms may be included in the user profile.For every sign in the system will recognize the user type, i.e. theusers 721 a-b, and universal computing node administrators, along withall past activities from account details in the database. Based on usertype, the data exchange search server 604 behavior will change.

The database engine 708 processes all database operations for thedatabases and local storage devices 710 a-n. The database engine 708searches for server data records (not shown) within the databases andlocal storage devices 710 a-n. The server data records may comprise useraccount records, user data purchase payment records, access rights datarecords, and search query logs. These operations include insertion ofserver data records into the databases and local storage devices 710a-n, deletion of server data records from the databases and localstorage devices 710 a-n, searching and retrieving server data recordsfrom the databases and local storage devices 710 a-n, and indexing thedatabases and local storage devices 710 a-n to maintain efficientsearching when needed.

The access rights manager 709 accepts user requests to obtain a DigitalData Bundle of Rights agreed to under a non-fungible right (NFR), forone or more blockchain data records. As noted above, the user mayacquire dynamic and or static data access rights, data type accessrights, file access rights, data format access rights, video accessrights including view and rebroadcasting rights, audio access rightsincluding view and rebroadcasting rights, communication frequencies,spectrums, and any other monetizable set of rights and obligations. Theaccess rights manager 709 determines the type of access rights that areavailable for each blockchain data record 500 in which access rights areto be granted. The access rights manager 709 determines the price forthe particular access rights requested and provides the price to theuser. If the user accepts a price and provides payment information, theaccess rights manager 709 sends a request for payment to the paymentprocessor 704. Once the payment processor 704 indicates that payment hasbeen received, the access rights manager 709 grants access to theparticular blockchain data records 500. This access grant may also bedocumented in the data exchange search database and local data storagedevices 710a-n in order to provide access to these data records at alater date. If the access rights manager 709 determines that a requestdata record has already been granted access rights, the access rightsmanager 709 may immediately grant a user access to the data.
